Install Oracle 11g R2 Software
You can use a provided script that will install Oracle Home in the correct disk.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have initialized the virtual machine to make it Oracle and Data Director compliant.
Procedure
1 Log in to the OS as root.
2 Type the following command to install Oracle.
